The Kidnapper 3

Chapter 2: Trip back home

When It was morning, I told Austin about going back. He was a little against it, as well as Jared.

"I just don't think it would be a good idea" Jared said.

"Yeah I actually agree" Austin sat on the couch with his arms folded.

"Well..I can't exactly tell him no"

"Why not?" he asked.

"Because..he kind of already bought our tickets"

"He bought our tickets" he repeated, when the door bell rang.

When I walked to answer the door it was Grant.

"Hey, Im all set" he said as he walked in.

"Why are you here and why do you have bags?" Austin asked.

"Well yeah, hey to you too" he said.

"I invited him to come with us"

Austin gave me a look as if he didn't want him to come.

"Does Aaliyah know?" Jared asked.

"yeah, she's actually excited"

"And your dad knows we're coming?" austin asked.

"Well..no not exactly. He will find out after the wedding"

"This isn't going to be good Alex. You know that just as much as I do" he said.

I nodded my head.

"We have to get going now, before we miss our flight" 

I went upstairs and helped Aaliyah grab her bags and put them in the car.

Once we had all of our bags in the car we headed to Jared house so he could get his bags, then we headed to the airport.

When we had gotten onto the plane, Aaliyah sat with Jared and Grant, and Me and Austin sat alone.

"Are you okay?"

He looked at me and said "I just don't get it, I mean why did you invite him to come?" 

"I thought you and Grant were cool with each other"

"Alex I only tolerate him because he helped us save you and plus he just won't go away" he said.

"Look, you have nothing to worry about. Grant is a close friend thats it-"

"Yeah you say that as if you don't know" he said.

"Know what?"

"Don't tell me you don't see the way he looks at you Alex or how he comes to visit you everyday" he sounded irritated.

"...I didn't notice"

He sighed as he looked out the window.

"I didn't notice because why would I care what another man does when I have you"

"..Alex, thats besides the point, we may be cool, but lets just face the fact that I just don't trust him at all, I will never trust him. I only tolerate him for you" he looked at me.

"Austin I-"

"Just forget it, Im done talking about this, lets just focus on Aaliyah's birthday" he looked back out the window and said nothing more.

A few hours later, the plane landed and when we had gotten off, there was a cab waiting for us.

When we arrived at Nathan's house, I walked up to the door with Aaliyah while the guys were getting the bags and knocked on the door.

When the door opened, it was Rachel.

She smiled at me as she welcomed us.

"Hold up, I'll get Nathan" she said as she went upstairs.

His house was so nice.

He had two living rooms with flat screens in both, and the kitchen looked so luxurious and shiny.

Who would have thought that my little brother would be living like this.

"Hey Alex!" Nathan literally ran downstairs yelling in excitement.

He gave a big hug.

"Oh my God, You've gotta older and still look younger" he chuckled.

"Thanks I guess" 

"Hey there Aaliyah" he picked her up and gave her a hug.

Then austin and them had walked in with the rest of the bags.

"And Austin and I meet again" he said.

"Yeah, nice to see you again too" Austin said shaking his hand

Actually now that I think about it, Nathan and Austin have met before, but I dont think they had a proper greeting, since we had to deal with Shaun back then

I took it upon myself to introduce Jared and Grant.

"Nathan this is Jared, Austin's dad and this is Grant a friend of ours"

Nathan shook there hands and said "Nice to meet you both"

He then had led us into his living room, which was huge.

"Make yourself's at home" he said.

I had sat on the couch with Aaliyah and Jared, and Austin and Grant just stood up.

"So..are we staying here or in like a nice hotel?" Grant asked.

"Nathan bought us two hotel rooms, not far from here"

Nathan had then walked in, and had his keys with him.

"Okay, how about we take you to the hotel" he said.

We agreed as we put our bags in his Expedition.

We then got in and drove off.
